Chrome started doing this to me yesterday. Extensions crash, pages won’t load. Removed and reinstalled Chrome. No change.

Can’t run anything related to chrome. Inside or out.
Antivirus hasn’t picked anything up.

antivirus usually don’t catch malware. run malware bytes and super antispyware see if that find any thing. also maybe hijack this.

if all else fails try doing a restore to the last point in time when it did work.

I’ve never had a restore go well on this computer, and it’s a work computer... so if it comes to that I’ll just ditch Chrome on it and use something else. I rarely use it anyway except for a backup when sites don’t like firefox and for google maps because it just works nicer.
Still a tool I’d like to keep in my back pocket though if I can.

You go and manually delete all of the folders after uninstall?

No, but I did clean the registry... good point.

Small company, we have to be our own IT most of the time. Unfortunately. Unless something is catastrophically wrong, it’s a “fix it yourself in your spare time with the help of uncle google” type place.

it will be the one of the hidden folders that is causing you a problem appdata\local\google\chrome or appdata\roaming\google\chrome and c:\program data\Google\chrome

What antivirus are you using?

ESET

Try deactivating it and seeing if Chrome works. If it does, you know that’s the problem.
Browser vendors lately hate antivirus companies, because a lot of AV products hook into the browsers in ways that actually reduce security and stability.
Oh, also, 32 or 64-bit Windows? (64-bit, Chrome has more ways to protect itself from badly-written antivirus software.)

No dice. The extensions stopped crashing, but it didn’t seem like they loaded properly either. And no pages local or otherwise were loading.
64-bit Windows 10.

Have you tried incognito mode in Chrome? Do any browsers work? Unistall Acrobat, Chrome displays pdf’s already.

Yes.
All others work.
I actually don’t know how that got there in the first place. I removed and reinstalled Chrome, when I opened it it told me “another program has added this extension” or words to that effect--I left it so I could see when the extensions started working again. It wasn’t there before the reinstall and I’d taken off the other extensions without effect prior to the reinstall so I doubt it’s doing anything for better or for worse.

Try either updating Adobe (or if it updated, downgrade for a bit), or disable it in chrome. Had to downgrade Flash, and Adobe here at work for a similar issue in FF.
